Show Your Support for Student Participation in Arts Education!

Each year Arts Ed NJ strives to make quality arts education a focal point in our state. Our programs and services lead to lasting impact for students in each of New Jersey’s 21 counties. After a full decade of promoting arts education for all students in New Jersey, we now have the evidence that our strategies and hard work have paid off and we couldn’t have done it without people like you!

We have an opportunity to do even more, and

you can help by supporting Arts Ed NJ this season.

In 2017 we were humbled to receive the largest arts education grant ever awarded in New Jersey from the National Endowment of the Arts. This grant will enable Arts Ed NJ to further increase the collective impact of our statewide efforts in New Jersey. As we continue to influence conditions that will increase opportunities for student engagement in arts education, we need you.

Your donation to Arts Ed NJ will help us reach our

$25,000 matching goal this year.

With your generosity and support, Arts Ed NJ can:

Ensure that New Jersey becomes the first state in the nation to provide universal access to arts education for ALL students. We can reach this milestone in 2018!

Ensure that the 80,000 students who should be receiving arts instruction (but do not) are provided the instruction they are entitled to receive while increasing overall participation statewide.

Increase the number of schools that are providing dance and theater programs while strengthening music and visual art programs.

Together we can make ARTS ED NOW a reality for
Every Child in Every School across our state.

Who We Are

Arts Ed NJ is an independent 501c3 non-profit organization with a mission to provide a unified voice for a diverse group of constituents who agree on the educational benefits and impact of the arts, specifically the contribution they make to student achievement and a civilized, sustainable society. Arts Ed NJ (previously the New Jersey Arts Education Partnership) was originally founded in 2007 as a cosponsored program of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, with additional support from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, New Jersey Department of Education and Music for All Foundation. Additional support has been provided by the Prudential Foundation, and ArtPride New Jersey.

What We Do

Arts Ed NJ is designed as a statewide arts education advocacy model for the 21st century bringing together stakeholders and applying new technologies and communication strategies with "best practices" to create a vibrant and valued organization to advance arts education in New Jersey.
